User's avatar on a page

When a user logs in, how do you make their avatar show on a specified location of forum?

you'll have to use something like this at the desired location

Code:

        <td class="$bgclass">



                <if condition="!$show['guest']">



                        <if condition="$avatarurl">

                                <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar"><img src="$avatarurl" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[edit_avatar]" /></a></if></if>

                                </td>

That didn't do it. I have nothing showing up on the forum after pasting this in the header

that code i simply copied from the vbadvanced page...

okay try this then, this is from the postbit template

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>

That will not work, as the variables required in that statement do not exist until you view a post. You need to create a plugin to fetch the avatar URL, then use that URL.

Wow, that would be too advanced for me.
I guess I'd have to look for something else.

This is what I do for the user avatar on every page.

Put this in your config.php

PHP Code:


		
			
define('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR', true);

Create new hook with this info.
Hook Location: fetch_userinfo
Execution order: 5
PHP code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if(defined('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR') AND ($option & FETCH_USERINFO_AVATAR) AND $vbulletin->options['avatarenabled'])
{
     require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');
     fetch_avatar_from_userinfo($user, false, true);
}

Plugin Active: yes

Also I am using 3.7.0 for the moment and it is working. I just download 3.7.1 about 2 hours ago and haven't got to it yet.

Just out of curiosity, could you explain what the 3 array items refer to and where they are defined?

Code:

fetch_avatar_from_userinfo($user, false, true);

In the function fetch_userinfo(), the userinfo is contain in $user. The second parameter is to fetch the avatar thumb. The third parameter is return fake avatar or no avatar. You can read more info about fetch_avatar_from_userinfo() here.

I don't get it.. I've done how you said and it's still not showing anything :S

Are you using $bbuserinfo[avatarurl] in your template?

Will this also work for non-vB pages?

I am currently still in development stage of my new site but it is working on every vbulletin power page that is using the template system in my new site so far.

Code:

<img src="$bbuserinfo[avatarurl]" border="0" />

If you are using file system avatars use this code.

Code:

<img src="$vboptions[avatarurl]$bbuserinfo[avatarurl]" border="0" />

I'm using the file system, and nothing appears with the second code.
Would it work on a local installation? And can I put the config.php line that you gave above anywhere in the file?

Yes that line of code should go at the end of the config.php file but it real doesn't matter where it is put as long as you don't get a php error. Also I know it isn't a php problem because the php is working correctly because it is returning a correct path I believe. There is a problem with the html that I can't think of right now. Are you trying this in the same directory as your forums or a file outside of your forums?

I guess that is what you get when you stay up to about 3 am in the morning.

Yes, it's in the same directory. I'm trying to add the avatar next to the logo.
